Thank you for your interest in contributing to this project!
|
| + |
|
| + |
Before you submit your first patch, please take a moment to review the following
|
| + |
guidelines:
|
| + |
|
| + |
## Certificate of Origin
|
| + |
|
| + |
By contributing to this project, you agree to the [Developer Certificate of
|
| + |
Origin (DCO)][dco]. This document was created by the Linux Kernel community
|
| + |
and is a simple statement that you, as a contributor, have the legal right to
|
| + |
make the contribution.
|
| + |
|
| + |
In order to show your agreement with the DCO you should include at the end of
|
| + |
the commit message, the following line:
|
| + |
|
| + |
Signed-off-by: John Doe <john.doe@example.com>
|
| + |
|
| + |
using your real name and email.
|
| + |
|
| + |
This can be done easily using `git commit -s`.
|
| + |
|
| + |
### Fixing the DCO
|
| + |
|
| + |
If you did not sign-off one or more of your commits then it is not all for not.
|
| + |
The crowd at `src-d` have a [wonderful guide][fixing-dco] on how to remedy this
|
| + |
situation.
|
| + |
|
| + |
## License Header
|
| + |
|
| + |
As part of our license, we must include a license header at the top of each
|
| + |
source file. The template for this header can be found [here][header-template].
|
| + |
If you are creating a new file in the repository you will have to add this
|
| + |
header to the file.
|
| + |

| + |
